History

This temple was relocated from Hōkō-ji in connection with the transfer of the capital to Heijō-kyō. During the Nara period, it was a major temple alongside Tōdai-ji and Kōfuku-ji. It declined in the medieval period and split into three parts: Gokuraku-bō, Tō-ato (Pagoda Site), and Shōtō-in. Gokuraku-bō became independent during the Kamakura period and is currently a branch temple of Sai-dai-ji.
